My female R.Brev suddenly has a loss of appetite. She hasn't eaten for a few days. She's moving around and doen't look particularly ill. But she does possibly look slightly skinny, e.g. ribs showing, but that was sometimes the case anyway, she'd be able to change from looking quite plump...

My new baby Brevs are tucking into fruit flies, but i wondered if it's worth feeding the FFs if possible on something high in calcium, such as dried figs? I know dried figs can contain sulphates, but I would use the organic ones. Any ideas on this?

I didn't expect this, but just noticed the patter of tiny feet so I'm proud to introduce young Wayne: He appears to be a male anyway, what do people think? I have taken him out of the viv, he appears to have an appetite, eating springtails. I will try him with some tropical woodlice. Is it OK...

Since getting my chameleons a few weeks ago, apart from picking them up to put them in viv, i haven't handled them assuming this may stress them out. But now I wonder if it's a good or bad thing to sometimes pick them up and say hello. Sometimes I will put my hand in close to them to guide...

I'm going away for a couple of days and although I have some pygmy carers coming in to check on them and humidity, I am not confident they will be good at feeding them. I wonder if there is some food that can be kept in the vivarium in enough numbers to keep the pygmies well fed for a few...

I was wondering if it's Ok to just add a dozen or so crickets to the vivarium, or should I add them one or a few at a time when the chameleons appear hungry? In other words, might they overfeed? The two females seem a bit fat (but may be they are expecting) and the male seems a bit skinny...

I write music for a living so I thought it would be fun to put one of my tracks to this. Doesn't look like it's possible to embed video, so here's the link: http://youtu.be/7rAmaX6Yxxg

I got a Pygmy Chameleon starter kit from a supplier, thinking it would be ideal, however after some research here it seems it's not exactly right. Tank is 18" x 18" x 18" and I have two ladies and a gentleman (Chardonnay, unnamed so far and Trevor) 1) The kit just included tropical substrate...

I'm wondering if it's OK to have woodlice in the vivarium, either as custodians or as an occasional snack (the smaller ones) I'm talking about regular common or garden woodlice as opposed to tropical woodlice, as I have a plentiful supply.

I'm able to get small (silent) crickets locally, but the problem is most of them are still a bit large, ie bigger then the width of the pygs' heads - however they seem happy enough chomping on the slightly larger ones. But should I worry they might choke? If so has anyone got a good...

I'm very pleased to have found this forum. I'm new to chameleons and recently got some pygmies (R.Brev) I will have a few questions, it seems the "starter kit" the shop sold me was not quite appropriate in some respects, e.g. there was a waterfall which I discovered is not a good idea, after...
